Just then, a violent explosion sounded from outside, deafening everyone.
The ground shook violently, trembling constantly underfoot.
The lights on the ceiling swayed dizzyingly in mid-air due to the sudden incident.
“What’s going on?”
Caught off guard by the abrupt change, Hayden regained his composure only to find the laboratory beginning to collapse.
Not just the lab-if he stepped outside now, he would see that the entire prison was crumbling.
At the same time as the explosion, river water also started flooding in.
The rushing river water, like the fierce waterfalls of summer, battered against the walls of this ancient prison.
The age-old walls, first scoured by bombs and then inundated with river water, were extremely fragile.
The imprisoned captives and drug-induced prisoners seized this opportunity to dive and escape.
“Someone come quickly, the prisoners are escaping, catch them!”
By the time the guards realized the prisoners were escaping, it was already too late, and they were no match for the convicts.
They could only secure themselves to avoid being swept away by the water, while helplessly watching the prisoners escape.
Inside the crumbling Tiger Cage, Elsa lay dying on the ground.
Mud and lime kept falling from the ceiling, and she felt a bone-chilling cold as her back pressed against the floor.
Blood slowly flowed out between her legs, blending into the river and dyeing the water pink.
The men who had been tormenting her saw the big hole in the cell and fled with their trousers in hand, not caring about her life or death.
As the water level rose, she was soon submerged.
Elsa was in so much pain she couldn’t move; even breathing was torture, let alone escaping.
“Aunt, aunt… save me, cough, cough… I don’t want to die!”
In despair, she shed tears looking at the broken walls before her, but her calls for help would never reach Jaelynn.
Feeling the water engulf her chin and nose, she choked for a long time, constantly coughing.
“No, I can’t die here, I absolutely can’t!”
Elsa kept encouraging herself inwardly.
Clutching her fists, she mustered all her strength to grab some nearby weeds, barely managing to stand up.
Limping through the water, she was just about to reach the gate.
Elsa seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival.
She stopped, turned back, and with a sinister and resentful smile on her beautiful face, looked at the struggling parasite people in the water.
“Such a severe accident, Cheyenne and Omari cannot escape!”
As she fantasized about boasting in front of their graves soon, a beam from above crashed down.
Due to the dim light in the prison, by the time Elsa sensed the danger, it was too late.
Her eyes wide and forever fixed on this desolate land.
Her body was covered by rocks and the river water removed all the dust off her.
Even though she had once been glamorous, she died in ragged clothes, full of reluctance.
In her dying moments, the only face that emerged in Elsa’s mind was Omari’s unloving, handsome one.
“What’s so good about him? Heartless and cold, yet I chose him.”
“It turns out one must endure such ordeals to shed regretful tears.”
“It turns out only by sacrificing my life can I say everything I did was worth it.”
“I, Elsa, have loved and hated in this life, I am not resigned! Oh heavens, why are you so… cruel to me, ha ha.”
Her pitiful and tragic voice echoed in the empty prison, accompanying her last breath as Elsa coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Everything went dark, and she lost consciousness completely.
If there really is a next life, she hoped to never meet Omari again.
At the same time, Hayden was also trying to contact his men to inquire about what was happening. Finally, he found a young man in black clothes and immediately grabbed his arm, questioning him, “What’s going on? What happened outside?”
The man was carrying a briefcase, obviously preparing to flee. “Master, it’s bad… There’s news from the power plant that there was an explosion due to equipment burning out.”
“The electricity flowed into the prison through the river, and the place where we store oil also had a chain reaction. The prison is about to collapse, you should leave too,” he kindly reminded.
But to his surprise, Omari, after hearing this, angrily pulled out his gun and aimed it at the young man’s head, firing a shot. Bang! The young man fell to the ground. His body was soon swept away by the river along with debris.
The gun barrel was still emitting smoke, and Hayden elegantly blew it away with a puff of his lips. He uttered coldly, “In my eyes, there are only brave warriors, no cowardly deserters!”
Several people around, seeing this, also had the urge to flee, but they voluntarily came forward to protect him and evacuate. Omari glanced at the three still engaged in combat with the serpent and devised a plan.
Before leaving, he pressed the switch on the wall. The laboratory was using backup power, luckily still functional. Water conducts electricity. When the river water comes in, none of them will be able to leave here alive!
“Let’s go! Bring the helicopter to the parking lot.” After doing all this, Hayden turned and left gracefully.
“Yes.”
Meanwhile, the phone placed high up fell to the ground due to the shaking.
In Onistead, Leon caught a glimpse of his youngest son being entangled by a giant snake, lifted in the air, and passed out in shock.
“Omari!” Before fainting, he still had Omari’s name on his lips, hoping that the heavens would bless his youngest son to survive. He was willing to exchange ten years of his life for it!
As Hayden walked, seeing the empire he had spent five years building destroyed in an instant, he felt both sorrow and anger in his heart.
Seeing his grim expression, his men couldn’t help but comfort him, “Master, let’s leave now and think of a way for revenge later!”
“Revenge?” Hayden took a deep breath and smiled. This smile was cold and chilly. “If General Jaelynn hasn’t succeeded either, then there’s no future for me, Hayden.”
His father already knew about his plot against Omari, and he couldn’t return to the Lara family anymore.
“General Jaelynn will definitely succeed.”
Hayden looked into the distance at the sky, under the azure sky was an endless green rainforest. He had chosen this place before because it was secluded and unlikely to be discovered. But now he felt like this vast forest was a giant cage, trapping him tightly within. He couldn’t wait to escape from here.
Right on cue, his men came to report. Their helicopter was destroyed!
